Who we are
An understanding of economics is vital in our complex and ever-changing world
Whether we know it or not, we take economic decisions every day of our lives. In turn, we are affected by the decisions of other people and institutions, nationally and internationally. Studying the way economic processes work and how economic decisions are made helps us understand our society.
Our academics research and teach this absorbing subject. Their research, in the UK and throughout the world, helps inform lectures and seminars, so you will be learning from acknowledged experts in the field.
We offer undergraduate degrees in economics as single honours and in combination with other subjects, while our postgraduate taught and research programmes can lead to exciting careers in business and the public sector.
A diverse community
We have a thriving postgraduate community, attracting a wide range of students from very diverse backgrounds.
Our research themes
We have four research themes specialising in microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometric theory and applied economics.
After your degree
An economics degree can be an opening to many careers, not just those related specifically to economics.
